Doncic said it no longer was on his mind, but his gloomy demeanor indicated otherwise, or perhaps that said more about his takeaway from a season in which he finished second in the NBA in scoring average while Dallas“Something’s got to change, you know?” he said. “For sure. I mean, last year when we went to the Western Conference finals we were having fun. I always talk about the chemistry we had. It was great, but something’s got to change, for sure.”“We’ll see about it,” he said.

In the franchise’s 43-season history, this is the third-largest victory drop between full 82-game seasons.
When the Mavericks fell behind 42-14 after Sunday’s first quarter, it broke a dubious franchise record set by those 13-win Mavs of 1993-94, who trailed in a March 1994 game against the Lakers 42-16 after one quarter. “I think just a little patience, especially with change, is needed.

“But I think he’s excited to be here. He’s excited to work with Luka. He believes that we have a chance to win. And so this is a big summer, not just for us as Mavs, but for Kai. Everything we’ve done is to show that this is a great city, a great organization. And now it’s time to continue to build that process of winning the championship.”
